Hi all I am a new member and would like to start by congratulating contributors for the stellar work they do on this forum.

 

In october 2008 i received a letter from Lowell Portfolio requesting payment of an outstanding payment owing to 3 mobile dating back to 2005 for £30.83. Having no recolection of any oustanding payment i chose to ignore the letter and have continued to do so despite several letters from Lowell and their affliates (Red Debt Collection Agency and Mackenzie Hall). In that time Lowell have made 3 separate searches on my credit file.

 

Earlier this month i received a letter from Philips Collection Services who say that they are collecting on behalf of Lowell. The fact they are bailiffs has me concerned and I am considering settling the debt but wanted to clarify if doing so constitutes an admission of owing the debt? If yes does this mean that Lowell will/can enter a default on my name (the fact that it would be 'satisfied' would be of no comfort)

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many Thanks

there are two philips, you will have the DCA one after you.

 

there is NO WAY it can be bailiffs as its not been to court

 

ignore them totally.

 

you are just on a phishing list

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

I Had a similar situation with Lowell's but sent them and their guises the standard letters demanding proof. It got as far as the buy-back offer that Lowell like to use which was disregarded. Then Philips came on the scene - just sent them the bemused letter/in dispute with Lowell's. Will just wait & see.
